It turned out that the strange patterns and pictures on the back of the map were cuneiform used in ancient Assyria or Persia back on Earth. Tolly recognized them at the first sight because he had used to study them for his digging job as a gold miner in his previous life. He had wished to dig out more treasures like antiques or something like that except for the gold in the cave, though he had never dug out any of them apart from broken pottery or dirty boots back on earth. He had regretted he had wasted too much of his time studying those picturesque characters. Yet, today he came to believe what his father had always said to him, “Learn more, Tolly, nothing is useless. One day when you want to do something, what you’ve learned will come to help you one way or another. You’re what you read or learn.” At the moment, he had to admit his father had always been a wise man. He started to read the first line of the cuneiform on the back of the map. It read: ‘Anyone who acquires the S
Tolly walked out of his house and started to go to see Fanta Lord. Yet, the Fanta Mansion was too big. He had no idea where he should head for. It seemed that he had to find someone else to help him. Interestingly, the stocky boy didn’t go very far. He wandered around Tolly’s house, still angry. [Dear Tolly, the owner of the Hidden Dragon System, you’ve earned another 50 Wrath points from Tim.] The text message suddenly popped out on the screen before Tolly’s eyes while Tolly was walking. He immediately realized that the stocky boy must be nearby. After walking across a long corridor, Tolly saw the stocky boy sitting on a bench in a small pavilion at the end of the corridor. “Hey, Tim, how are you doing?” asked Tolly in a loud voice, looking excited. The stocky boy raised his head. Upon seeing Tolly, he was almost hitting the roof. “Hemm,” said the stocky boy Tim, letting out a cold harrumph, “not good. I don’t want to see you at the moment. Just leave me alone.” A new text mes
“You didn’t see everything about Jenny, did you?” asked Fanta Lady again,“What do you mean by everything about my dear Miss, Fanta Lady?” asked Tolly, “of course not.”Only then did Fanta Lady realize that she had taken him wrong. Therefore, she heaved a deep sigh.“Okay, just tell us everything you saw last night,” said Fanta lady, her voice a little bit softer than before, “Yet, if you lie to us, I’ll soon find it out. At that time, I think you’ll be driven out of Fanta Mansion instantly.”“I swear everything I’d like to say is true, or else I will be struck by lightning again,” said Tolly quickly. He had already known what it would be like if he was struck by lightning, so he was not that afraid.He was going to tell the truth, of course. There was nothing special that he had to hide away from them except for his Hidden Dragon System.“You know, last night…” said Tolly.However, it was soon interrupted by the knock on the door.“Come in,” said Fanta Lord, “Is it Jenny?”“Yeah, fat
“Let’s make a bet, Tolly. If you can be alive ten days later, I’ll call you superman,” mocked Tim, still laughing, “I’ve heard Dr. Franklin says you will perish in ten days.” Tolly waved his hand. It looked like he was not willing to have a bet with Tim. “No?” said Tim with great disappointment, “I’ve known you have always been a coward.” “I mean I am not pleased with your bet. How about this? If I’m still alive ten days later, can you kneel down before me? Besides, I don’t need you to call me superman. You just need to call me elder brother in public. Of course, if you’re willing to call me brother-in-law in public, I’d be much more pleased.” “What kind of bet it is, Tolly!” fumed Fanta Lady with rage, “but anyway, since you’ll die soon, I’m not going to mess with you about this.” Quickly, Tolly got more Wrath points from Fanta Lady. It was 50 points. “No problem,” replied Tim quickly, “If you lose, I think there’s no need to give you any penalties because death is the capital s
With a ‘yes’ notion in his mind, the Prize Wheel started to spin fast again. He watched it spin without blinking his eyes. He already wasted too many of his Wrath points. This time, he hoped it would not let him down, or else he would think it would be a trap for him. When the hand in the middle of the Prize Wheel pointed to the purple part of it, there appeared a green jacket, which was glowing with several specks of golden light. [Congratulations! You’ve successfully won a jacket. It’s a special one. You’ll know its uniqueness soon.] “Hey, are you actually a clothes shop? Why are you keeping giving me clothes? Last time, you offered me that funny Green Cincher Uniform. And this time, you’ve given me a green jacket. What do you mean? Tell me what the use of the jacket is now!” groaned Tolly. If the system was a person, he would surely strangle it to death. His mind was quickly read by the system, which quickly responded to Tolly with a new text message, [Invisible Jacket: It ha
Walking about ten or fifteen minutes, Tolly saw a little red house at the end of the street. He got the feeling that it must be the girl’s house, for it was the only house that he could see there.He quickly knocked on the door, but no one came to answer it. He knocked again and then a husky voice was heard.“Who’s that?” asked the voice of an old man inside.“Hello, my name is Tolly Harmsworth,” said Tolly politely, “your daughter asks me to come to see her at ten o’clock.”Suddenly, the door swung open. Before Tolly was an old man with a big beard on his face, staring at Tolly with an unfriendly look.“What do you want from her?” said the old man angrily. It looked like he didn’t like anyone to visit her daughter since he took anyone who came to look for her daughter as a bastard who wanted to take advantage of her.“Oh, I bought a Miracle Herbal Pancake at her stall,” said Tolly.Before he finished his sentence, he was interrupted by the old man before him.“So what? there are hund
“White Ginseng,” replied Una with a big smile on her face.“White what?” asked Tolly, wanting to confirm what he had just heard.“Ginseng,” explained Una patiently, “a kind of herb that can help us to improve our stamina and give us more energy. Would you like some?”Una quickly took out a small white round leaf from her pocket and handed it to Tolly.“Put it under your tongue,” said Una, “You will quickly know its effect.”“Thank you, Una,” said Tolly while staring at Una’s two beautiful eyes smilingly, “It’s the thing I want right now. I guess there will be a big fight later.”“I think so,” said Una, “Let’s go into the mountain now.”Both of them walked into the mountain along a small path with trees and thick bushes on its both sides. In the very beginning, everything went very well. All along the way, they enjoyed the beautiful scenery around them, appreciating the beauty of nature.The sun hanging in the sky like a fireball shed its golden sunlight down on the mountain. Yet, beca
The tiger was surrounded by a pack of wolves in the center. Now one of the wolves came biting on one of its buttocks. And at the same time, another bigger wolf wasn’t trying to bite the neck of the tiger. Instantly, the fierce tiger was full of blood on its hide. It roared crazily and tried to shake them off its body. Nevertheless, there was no use in doing that. Other wolves also lunged at it and started to tear its flesh off it. Quickly, before the tiger was able to let out another roar, it was killed by the wolves. Sure enough, even a powerful tiger was no match for a pack of warrior wolves. Watching all this, Tolly, Peggy, and Luna were all startled at the attacking powers of the pack of wolves. It looked like it was much more powerful than the tiger. In a flash, the tiger was torn apart by the wolves and thus died a horrible death. “Holy shit,” Tolly exclaimed in shock, “if we’re engaged in a fight with the pack of wolves, I’m sure we will have no chance to escape from them.
